Folks, Fancy yourself a tiddlywiki wizard (or wannabee)?, are you up to the challenge?, think the solution is obvious?, like to learn through trying?
This is an *optional* coding challenge to provide a better solution, more concise code, if you are interested. - I am in the middle of creating a solution, the solution contains a configuration tiddler $:/config/name - I have long sought to automate configuration settings and have done so with the code below. - I would like to see if it can be simplified further. - I thought I would open this as a coding challenge for anyone interested, basically since each select statement differs only on value pairs eg yes no / show hide, there may be a way to simplify, or shorten the macro. *The solution* - You call this macro with a tiddlername (defaults to current tiddler) and fieldname, default field is "fieldname", (because text could be dangerous) - Based on the value it finds there, it allows you to select the value to its natural alternative, eg Yes you can toggle to no, true to false etc... - If no value is found the first select widget, allows you to select one from all the available values "yes no show hide true false left right top bottom" - However there is a select widget for each of the common pairs of values and they differ only by the two filter used. *The challenge;* - See if you can write the same code in much shorter yet easier to configure/customisation form. For example add the additional options enable/disable. *Extended challenges *(for the foolhardily) - Once a config value pair is selected, set the config-values field in the config tiddler to those two values eg config-values="true false" - Allow the order to be set so the first value in config-values is considered the default. - Create a view template that detects tiddlers containing one of these values and show the config value select macro on those tiddlers *I will do this eventually myself but do not yet have the required inspiration as to how, so I thought I would open it to the community as a challenge.* The tiddler is also attached for your convenience, works on empty.html, tiddlywiki.com or my playground <https://anthonymuscio.github.io/playground.html>. The macro is both defined and called in this tiddler. \define smart-configure(tiddlername fieldname:"fieldname") <$set name=tiddlername value="$tiddlername$" emptyValue=<<currentTiddler>> > <$set name=currentValue value={{{ [<tiddlername>get[$fieldname$]] }}}> tiddlername=<<tiddlername>>, fieldname=$fieldname$, currentValue=<< currentValue>><br> <$list filter="[<currentValue>is[blank]]" variable=nul> Select initial value: <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue >> > <$list filter='yes no show hide true false left right top bottom'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> <$list filter="yes no +[match<currentValue>]" variable=nul> <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue>> > <$list filter='yes no'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> <$list filter="show hide +[match<currentValue>]" variable=nul> <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue>> > <$list filter='show hide'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> <$list filter="true false +[match<currentValue>]" variable=nul> <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue>> > <$list filter='true false'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> <$list filter="left right +[match<currentValue>]" variable=nul> <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue>> > <$list filter='left right'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> <$list filter="top bottom +[match<currentValue>]" variable=nul> <$select tiddler=<<tiddlername>> field="$fieldname$" default=<<currentValue>> > <$list filter='top bottom'> <option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option> </$list> </$select> </$list> </$set></$set> \end <<smart-configure "$:/config/Tiddlers/TitleLinks" text>> *In closing* - Do you like the idea of such challenges, - shall I release more? - Is there one you would like to raise? - Or a challenge you would like me to post? - Let me know here or privately.
